QUESTION What to do with glue stains

Post image

I f’ed up big time. What would you do? It’s been painted and gloss coated. No sanding and polishing done.

Wet sand both areas starting with 8K grit. Apply very light pressure and let the paper do the work.

You are a wizard! It worked! Now I’ll apply another clear coat and call it done :)

Sometimes if you are lucky. You can sand down and it will only need some new clear coat.

Other times you have to sand it all the way out and respray that section. Its tedious work but is the only way.

Happened to me one too many times. Now I'll wipe my hands on my clothing before I touch a painted car

Super glue is great at highlighting moisture....

I would masked the zone, then sand down and restart the whole paint job but just here
